Hex 52 changing to Hex 15

[silett]

Hi everybody!

the question I asked was: shall I set up a limited company (I am currently a sole trader). And the yarrow stick reading was Hex 52 changing into Hex 15. I am unable to interpret the answer in the context. Maybe some of you are able to help?!

Thanks in advance,
silett

Hexagram 52 is Keeping Still, maintaining a quiet attitude of restfulness.

The relating hexagram 15 is about the virtue of Modesty.

Line 6 of 52, and relating 15, according to Ewald Berkers below.

I find his translation and commentary simple and illuminating, but you will have to apply all the details and personal aspects which you are familiar with in your situation::bows:

52. Keeping Still

Line 6:

Kindhearted restraint.
Good fortune.

Something is held back, but not out of ill will. There is a friendly attitude. Things go well.
15. Humbleness

Humbleness.
Progressing.
The noble one brings things to a conlusion.

Being humble. This helps bringing things to a good end, as one is not in a position to make demands. There is progress.

Thank you Foxx! It's certainly a start to understanding it better ... Sometimes the I Ching is just too cryptic (for me).

The issue was that friends suggested I form a limited company to save tax money (9%). This however also means that I need audited accounts and what I can / can't deduct and how I pay myself may/will make things more complicated AND above all, I'd be more prone to being audited, which could be stressful, too.

So I'm currently weighing up the pros and cons. When I couldn't arrive at a conclusion, I asked the I Ching.
SO ... if you have any more helpful insights, with the details I've just provided, do feel free to enlighten me, as it'll be most appreciated. :bows:
Thanks in advance!

If you look back up at my post on the hexagrams and lines, could the one which says, "something is being held back, but there is no ill will" mean you SHOULD form a limited company, despite the stress it can entail? I think I would read it as such, but we all must choose how exactly to interpret/act on the I Ching for ourselves. Being modest and humble, as the relating hexagram advises, always stands us in good stead when forming a company, as well.

Excellent ... that is the definite answer - positive or no - I was looking for and couldn't find in the reading myself. Thanks so much for your help with clarifying it for me, Foxx! :bows:

Well, even looks like a good Chinese month for me to do in an as well (as off today) ...

Line 1 brother line = competitor; at present, not too many. This is what you think.
Line 2 parent line = documents/stocks/orders. This year business is so, so.

Line 3: customers/capital: you think there are enough customers.
This is the guest line. It collides with line 6. The customer forces you to change to raise more business or attract more customers.
Line 4: brother line = competitor, people that cause trouble (may be your auditor)

Line 5: wealth line, move back one step, you do not make enough money.
Line 6: host line (you). The market is controlled by large stakeholders with price fixing. You know little about these people. It affects your business.

At present, these stakeholders push up prices to get back their money.

Is there any money for you? You make less.
Is condition stable? Yes.

Line 6 is the change line. Things are in movement, but the funds/customers push back any movement of change. Line 6 = host line you = officer/ghost. You are worry or disturbed because you do not know the future.

Great thank you very much for the detailed eloboration. I'll ponder on it a bit on lines 1-5 re my exact situation but line 6 is certainly spot on, I don't need to think about that one. :bows:
